England vs New Zealand Head to Head: The SportsRush presents for you the Head to Head statistics for the ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup semi-final.

The first semi-final of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2021 will be played between England and New Zealand in Abu Dhabi on November 10.

While England had topped the points table in Group 1 on the back of winning four and losing one out of their five Super 12 matches, New Zealand had finished behind Pakistan in Group 2 despite winning and losing the same number of the matches.

In addition to being the better team on paper, England also have the backing of their head-to-head numbers against New Zealand from the years gone by. Known for their fire-or-retire approach, England will have to find an able replacement at the top of the order for injured opening batter Jason Roy in the squad.

Readers must note that England have won both their T20Is at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium as of now. New Zealand, on the other hand, have won and lost a T20I each in Abu Dhabi.
